Need to fix duplicate extensions filename.pdf.pdf

mikeincairns · 2023-01-13 06:30

I have a lot of files (not all my files) with duplicate extensions, for example...

<filename>.pdf.pdf

Is there an easy way to detect and fix these?
I think they are all pdf's if that helps at all.

Thankyou
BTW - this is awesome software.

You can do this using the Regular Expressions rule:

Expression: (\.[^.]+)\1+\Z
Replace: $1
Skip extension: NO

This will remove all duplicate file extensions.

I think we can also add a dedicated option for that to the Extension rule in the coming version.

A dedicated option to remove duplicate file extensions was added in ReNamer 7.4.0.4 Beta.

The new option can be found in the Extension rule.
